Description

Tth RecA is a RecA homolog isolated from Thermus thermophilus. It has a ssDNA-dependent ATPase activity at an optimal temperature between 65–75°C. The extreme thermostability makes Tth RecA ideal for molecular biology applications that require an elevated temperature condition, such as nucleic acid amplification and sequencing.

Quality Control

Quality Assurance Statement

Each lot is tested for its
ability to form a stable triple helix and is visually
determined to be > 99% pure on an SDSpolyacrylamide
gel.

Quality Control Assays

The following Quality Control Tests are performed on each new lot and meet the specifications designated for the product. Individual lot data can be found on the Product Summary Sheet/Datacard or Manual which can be found in the Supporting Documents section of this page. Further information regarding NEB product quality can be found here.

Endonuclease Activity (Nicking):The product is tested in a reaction containing a supercoiled DNA substrate. After incubation for 4 hours the percent converted to the nicked form is determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Exonuclease Activity (Radioactivity Release):The product is tested in a reaction containing a radiolabeled mixture of single and double-stranded DNA. After incubation for 4 hours the exonuclease activity is determined by the % release of radioactive nucleotides.

Non-Specific DNase Activity (16 hour):The product is tested for non-specific nuclease degradation in a reaction containing a DNA substrate. After incubation for 16 hours there is no detectable degradation of the DNA substrate as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
